Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting
CASW established the Victor Cohn Prize for Excellence in Medical Science Reporting in 2000. The prize, which is given annually, seeks to honor a writer for a body of work published or broadcast within the last five years which, for reasons of uncommon clarity, accuracy, breadth of coverage, enterprise, originality, insight and narrative power, has made a profound and lasting contribution to public awareness and understanding of critical advances in medical science and their impact on human health and well-being. Eligible writing includes work appearing in digital media.
Prize
The honoree receives an award of $3,000 and a certificate. The prize is presented at a joint awards ceremony held in conjunction with Science Writers, a conference that combines CASW's New Horizons in Science briefings and the National Association of Science Writers Annual Workshops. Awardee travel expenses to the award ceremony are covered.
